Ingredients
Chicken and Sauce
- 1 pound chicken breasts (about 3 medium pieces)
- 1 cup buffalo hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon ranch dressing mix
Wraps
- 4 flour tortillas (8 inches)
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to a pot and fill it with water until 1 inch above the chicken. Bring to a boil, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Check the internal temperature after 8 minutes, aiming for 165° F. Larger breasts may take up to 15 minutes to cook thoroughly.
- Shred and Sauce the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pot and transfer to a cutting board. Once cooled slightly, shred the chicken using a fork. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir in the buffalo hot sauce, butter, and ranch dressing mix until well combined.
- Assemble the Wraps: Evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture among the four tortillas. Top each with crumbled blue cheese, blue cheese dressing, and shredded lettuce for added flavor and texture.
- Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then tuck the bottom flap over the filling and roll tightly. Cut each wrap in half for easier handling and serve immediately.
Notes
- Check chicken temperature carefully to ensure it is fully cooked before shredding.
- Use fresh blue cheese for best flavor and texture.
- For a spicier wrap, add extra buffalo hot sauce.
- These wraps can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator, but assemble just before serving to avoid soggy tortillas.
- Substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat for a healthier option.
